WEBVTT - Jean chats with the cast of Godzilla vs. Kong!

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:00.490
<v Speaker 1>jean.

0:00:00.490 --> 0:00:08.540
<v Speaker 2>Danka drives you home on cartoons, cartoons. Hi

0:00:08.539 --> 0:00:10.480
<v Speaker 1>alexander, how are you? Hello

0:00:10.480 --> 0:00:11.680
<v Speaker 2>jean. I'm pretty good.

0:00:11.690 --> 0:00:16.130
<v Speaker 1>First up, are you team Godzilla or are you team

0:00:16.140 --> 0:00:18.640
<v Speaker 1>kong and why? Oh,

0:00:18.650 --> 0:00:22.020
<v Speaker 2>you're really putting me on the spot here. I would

0:00:22.020 --> 0:00:25.560
<v Speaker 2>say going into the movie when we started shooting it.

0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:28.120
<v Speaker 2>I was definitely Team Godzilla when I was a kid,

0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:29.160
<v Speaker 2>I loved the old

0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:33.729
<v Speaker 2>sixties Godzilla movies like sixties and seventies. I recommend going

0:00:33.729 --> 0:00:36.810
<v Speaker 2>back and people should watch them because they're incredible. It's

0:00:36.810 --> 0:00:40.280
<v Speaker 2>basically an actor in a Godzilla suit, walking around a

0:00:40.290 --> 0:00:44.140
<v Speaker 2>miniature set of Tokyo, just kicking things and they're done

0:00:44.140 --> 0:00:46.099
<v Speaker 2>with a lot of passion and love and it's a

0:00:46.100 --> 0:00:47.750
<v Speaker 2>real treat to watch them. So

0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:50.550
<v Speaker 2>growing up, I, I love those, so big Godzilla fan

0:00:50.550 --> 0:00:53.279
<v Speaker 2>going into the movie, but then shooting the movie, my

0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:56.380
<v Speaker 2>characters with kong for the entire movie, basically that was

0:00:56.380 --> 0:00:59.650
<v Speaker 2>six months with him and I kind of grew to

0:00:59.650 --> 0:01:01.940
<v Speaker 2>love the guy I got to go with kong. Now

0:01:01.940 --> 0:01:05.890
<v Speaker 1>you've done some phenomenal work, some serious roles and this

0:01:05.890 --> 0:01:10.260
<v Speaker 1>one seems unlike something you would normally pick. Was it intentional?

0:01:10.260 --> 0:01:12.300
<v Speaker 1>Did you want to do something a little more light

0:01:12.300 --> 0:01:13.390
<v Speaker 1>hearted perhaps?

0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:16.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I haven't done a big like tent pole movies

0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:18.899
<v Speaker 2>since Tarzan, which was five years ago and I've been

0:01:18.900 --> 0:01:22.770
<v Speaker 2>working on more dramatic but slightly more intense and character

0:01:22.770 --> 0:01:26.399
<v Speaker 2>driven pieces and that was, I had some incredible years

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:30.280
<v Speaker 2>of working on fantastic dark characters and dark subject matters.

0:01:30.290 --> 0:01:31.060
<v Speaker 2>So I was

0:01:31.140 --> 0:01:33.510
<v Speaker 2>like, yeah, absolutely. I was so ready to go and

0:01:33.510 --> 0:01:36.950
<v Speaker 2>do something crazy and fun and wild and loud and

0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:40.720
<v Speaker 2>unpretentious with lovely people and just be a little kid

0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:43.490
<v Speaker 2>again and so I was, I was very excited about it. Yeah,

0:01:43.490 --> 0:01:45.470
<v Speaker 1>we love seeing you in roles like that where you

0:01:45.470 --> 0:01:46.980
<v Speaker 1>have a bit of a laugh. Well I think

0:01:46.980 --> 0:01:48.820
<v Speaker 2>it's important to kind of for my own sanity to

0:01:48.820 --> 0:01:50.610
<v Speaker 2>kind of find a balance when you've done a couple

0:01:50.610 --> 0:01:53.700
<v Speaker 2>of like really intense characters. It's cathartic to go and

0:01:53.700 --> 0:01:55.860
<v Speaker 2>do something fun and light and crazy.

0:01:55.940 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 2>Not that there aren't like very dramatic moments in Godzilla

0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:01.110
<v Speaker 2>versus kong but totally overall, it's like, you know, it's

0:02:01.110 --> 0:02:04.340
<v Speaker 2>a big matinee tent pole fun movie to watch hopefully.

0:02:04.350 --> 0:02:06.010
<v Speaker 2>And it definitely was to shoot what

0:02:06.010 --> 0:02:08.690
<v Speaker 1>was your personal favorite part of the movie?

0:02:08.700 --> 0:02:12.080
<v Speaker 2>I would say the locations were pretty special. We shot

0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:14.520
<v Speaker 2>in Hawaii and on the Gold coast of Australia, which

0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:16.530
<v Speaker 2>is a treat. There were so many different things that

0:02:16.530 --> 0:02:19.980
<v Speaker 2>were fun. Like I did love the heave, which is

0:02:19.980 --> 0:02:22.340
<v Speaker 2>like the little spaceship we're in shooting that stuff was

0:02:22.340 --> 0:02:24.680
<v Speaker 2>being like on a, on a roller coaster because was

0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:26.679
<v Speaker 2>on a gimbal. So it would like fly around on

0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:28.739
<v Speaker 2>the sound stage. That was a lot of fun, slightly

0:02:28.740 --> 0:02:32.429
<v Speaker 2>nauseating occasionally, but a lot of fun, but also shooting

0:02:32.430 --> 0:02:34.980
<v Speaker 2>on the deck on the bridge of the battleship when

0:02:34.980 --> 0:02:38.270
<v Speaker 2>it sinks it gets completely submerged and we shot like

0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:42.760
<v Speaker 2>underwater and that stuff was really crazy and fun and intense.

0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:46.350
<v Speaker 2>So I love that sequence. The best mix of music

0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:48.100
<v Speaker 2>class 95 Hi

0:02:48.100 --> 0:02:53.329
<v Speaker 1>millie I first up are you Team Godzilla or your

0:02:53.330 --> 0:02:57.890
<v Speaker 1>team kong and why I am Team Godzilla because it

0:02:57.889 --> 0:03:01.350
<v Speaker 1>kind of launched my movie career. So I can't really,

0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:03.460
<v Speaker 1>I can't really do them like that, you know? Yeah.

0:03:03.540 --> 0:03:07.010
<v Speaker 1>So your character returns from Godzilla, King of the Monsters.

0:03:07.020 --> 0:03:10.070
<v Speaker 1>Were you looking forward to playing medicine again? Yes, of course.

0:03:10.070 --> 0:03:12.100
<v Speaker 1>I mean the last time I had played her I

0:03:12.100 --> 0:03:15.240
<v Speaker 1>was 13. So it was you know, hard to kind

0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:18.400
<v Speaker 1>of remember back to when you know, I was doing

0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:19.960
<v Speaker 1>all that stuff because that part of my life, I

0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:22.730
<v Speaker 1>was doing pretty much everything. I just kind of watched

0:03:22.730 --> 0:03:25.710
<v Speaker 1>the film again and really thought about my character again

0:03:25.710 --> 0:03:28.070
<v Speaker 1>and what I was doing. But you know, as a

0:03:28.070 --> 0:03:30.770
<v Speaker 1>13 year old, you haven't found yourself yet. So what

0:03:30.770 --> 0:03:33.560
<v Speaker 1>was great was going back into it at 15.

0:03:34.150 --> 0:03:36.970
<v Speaker 1>This sounds so stupid, but going back to a 15

0:03:36.980 --> 0:03:37.290
<v Speaker 1>a lot

0:03:37.290 --> 0:03:38.340
<v Speaker 2>happens when you're young.

0:03:38.340 --> 0:03:40.900
<v Speaker 1>Okay, a lot happened in two years, you know, So

0:03:40.900 --> 0:03:43.470
<v Speaker 1>I got to really actually create more of a character

0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:45.880
<v Speaker 1>with Madison, which was nice. Do you think you'll be

0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:49.500
<v Speaker 1>able to form an emotional attachment to Godzilla if he

0:03:49.500 --> 0:03:52.250
<v Speaker 1>really existed in our world or would you be like

0:03:52.250 --> 0:03:58.130
<v Speaker 1>frightened by his sheer size as millions. As Madison as Millie. Yes,

0:03:58.130 --> 0:04:01.130
<v Speaker 1>so I'm afraid of thunder, I'm I'm afraid of pretty

0:04:01.130 --> 0:04:05.560
<v Speaker 1>much everything. So except the animals actually love animals. But

0:04:05.570 --> 0:04:09.630
<v Speaker 1>I don't think something a billion times bigger than me

0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:11.370
<v Speaker 1>is going to be something that I'm going to be

0:04:11.370 --> 0:04:12.960
<v Speaker 1>really wanting to be near.

0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:16.080
<v Speaker 1>So what I would do is get a shovel and

0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:18.950
<v Speaker 1>I'd start digging a bunker and then I put myself

0:04:18.950 --> 0:04:25.120
<v Speaker 1>in that bunker until she dipped. I agree with you. 100%

0:04:25.130 --> 0:04:29.010
<v Speaker 1>agree with you. Um, what's your personal favorite part of

0:04:29.010 --> 0:04:32.799
<v Speaker 1>the film for you? Okay, I haven't thought about this yet.

0:04:32.810 --> 0:04:37.760
<v Speaker 1>I actually loved the road trip that Julian and I

0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:42.330
<v Speaker 1>go on, I think that that is kind of iconic.

0:04:42.339 --> 0:04:45.770
<v Speaker 1>You know, I didn't obviously really drive. We were telling

0:04:45.770 --> 0:04:47.570
<v Speaker 1>me at the time. We also did a bit of

0:04:47.580 --> 0:04:49.680
<v Speaker 1>a green screen stuff, but that to me was really

0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:51.920
<v Speaker 1>fun because we got to listen to music because it

0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:54.589
<v Speaker 1>was a real car. So we just bluetooth, our phone

0:04:54.589 --> 0:04:56.350
<v Speaker 1>to the car and we were playing, we were doing car,

0:04:56.350 --> 0:04:59.980
<v Speaker 1>we did actually a whole segment of carpool karaoke. Um,

0:04:59.990 --> 0:05:03.240
<v Speaker 1>and Julian and I were very much invested. I loved,

0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:05.420
<v Speaker 1>I loved that whole sequence and I loved how it

0:05:05.420 --> 0:05:08.000
<v Speaker 1>played on screen as well. What would you like our

0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:10.440
<v Speaker 1>audience here in this part of the world and Singapore.

0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:13.170
<v Speaker 1>We're going to watch it on March 24th, what would

0:05:13.170 --> 0:05:15.400
<v Speaker 1>you like us to take away from this film. I

0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:19.050
<v Speaker 1>definitely found that it has such a deeper meaning, you know,

0:05:19.060 --> 0:05:22.200
<v Speaker 1>we really give young people a voice in this film

0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:24.700
<v Speaker 1>and I think that's what's so important. I also think

0:05:24.700 --> 0:05:26.990
<v Speaker 1>that protecting our world, protecting our

0:05:27.140 --> 0:05:31.220
<v Speaker 1>the animals in it and preserving um us and and

0:05:31.220 --> 0:05:34.620
<v Speaker 1>taking care of it is so important and you'll see

0:05:34.620 --> 0:05:36.670
<v Speaker 1>that in this film, you know, So I think that

0:05:36.670 --> 0:05:39.350
<v Speaker 1>there's that there's those kind of underlying meanings and that's

0:05:39.350 --> 0:05:41.620
<v Speaker 1>what I took away, but it's up for you guys

0:05:41.620 --> 0:05:43.670
<v Speaker 1>to decide what you would like to take away. Thank

0:05:43.670 --> 0:05:46.660
<v Speaker 1>you so much. Millie. Really nice catching up with you.

0:05:46.670 --> 0:05:47.450
<v Speaker 1>Thank you.

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:48.200
<v Speaker 2>Thank you

0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:53.320
<v Speaker 1>By the Best Mix of Music Class 95. Hi Julian.

0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:54.960
<v Speaker 1>Hi Brian, How are you guys

0:05:54.970 --> 0:05:56.110
<v Speaker 2>good for the both of

0:05:56.110 --> 0:06:00.820
<v Speaker 1>you? Team Godzilla or are you team kong and why brian?

0:06:00.820 --> 0:06:01.710
<v Speaker 1>You want to go first?

0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:04.750
<v Speaker 2>Sure I'm going to go into Godzilla just because we

0:06:04.750 --> 0:06:08.219
<v Speaker 2>spend hours of this movie trying to make sure Godzilla

0:06:08.220 --> 0:06:10.250
<v Speaker 2>gets where he needs to be and I would just

0:06:10.250 --> 0:06:12.690
<v Speaker 2>hate to like ride for somebody and then get them

0:06:12.690 --> 0:06:15.320
<v Speaker 2>to their destination, be like, man, you're trash. I want to,

0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:17.779
<v Speaker 2>I want to be a ride or die for Godzilla.

0:06:17.779 --> 0:06:20.700
<v Speaker 2>So I'm definitely Team Godzilla. Right

0:06:20.710 --> 0:06:22.550
<v Speaker 1>Julian. What about you?

0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:24.510
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm definitely the same. It's like when you watch

0:06:24.510 --> 0:06:26.450
<v Speaker 2>a boxing match and you're rooting for someone and then

0:06:26.450 --> 0:06:30.719
<v Speaker 2>they lose it, right? Like just Godzilla all the way man.

0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:32.350
<v Speaker 2>So

0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:35.370
<v Speaker 1>Julian, you play josh valentine the friend of Madison who

0:06:35.370 --> 0:06:39.410
<v Speaker 1>helps her, like investigate why Godzilla so erratic. Your character

0:06:39.410 --> 0:06:40.729
<v Speaker 1>is a little bit of a nerd, a little bit

0:06:40.730 --> 0:06:42.849
<v Speaker 1>of a realist. Is this you in real life or

0:06:42.850 --> 0:06:44.570
<v Speaker 1>are you totally far from that?

0:06:44.580 --> 0:06:49.180
<v Speaker 2>Tell the truth, Julian, josh valentine is definitely a nerd.

0:06:49.190 --> 0:06:51.250
<v Speaker 2>He even had a pocket change throughout the whole film

0:06:51.250 --> 0:06:54.090
<v Speaker 2>and adam when God made before he was like, yeah,

0:06:54.100 --> 0:06:56.159
<v Speaker 2>I want him to have a wallet chain. Sometimes I'll

0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:58.790
<v Speaker 2>just fall into the rabbit hole of like Youtube conspiracy

0:06:58.790 --> 0:07:01.750
<v Speaker 2>theory sometimes, like just a lot of things that I

0:07:01.750 --> 0:07:05.240
<v Speaker 2>can relate to, but josh valentine is an interesting character

0:07:05.250 --> 0:07:07.670
<v Speaker 2>and if I was someone like him in real life,

0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:11.460
<v Speaker 2>I would not be very popular. I don't buy that.

0:07:11.470 --> 0:07:13.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe that at all, Julian.

0:07:13.170 --> 0:07:14.190
<v Speaker 1>I don't

0:07:14.190 --> 0:07:14.840
<v Speaker 2>believe that at all,

0:07:14.850 --> 0:07:17.250
<v Speaker 1>brian, I loved your character at the moment. I saw

0:07:17.250 --> 0:07:20.620
<v Speaker 1>you on screen. Um and I love that you're a

0:07:20.630 --> 0:07:24.010
<v Speaker 1>bit of that conspiracy theorists. Likewise, I mean in real life,

0:07:24.010 --> 0:07:25.160
<v Speaker 1>do you believe

0:07:26.590 --> 0:07:28.280
<v Speaker 1>conspiracy theories?

0:07:28.290 --> 0:07:31.090
<v Speaker 2>You know Bernie and I share a lot, like Bernie

0:07:31.090 --> 0:07:34.730
<v Speaker 2>and I share a lot in common. Uh one I

0:07:34.730 --> 0:07:37.760
<v Speaker 2>love a jumpsuit, I will always rock a jumpsuit if

0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:41.050
<v Speaker 2>I can and a bum bag or Fannie pack, he

0:07:41.050 --> 0:07:44.140
<v Speaker 2>had one of those lots to do hickeys. Uh he

0:07:44.140 --> 0:07:46.760
<v Speaker 2>just always one of those guys that's ready. You know,

0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:48.540
<v Speaker 2>he just wants to be ready because he knows that

0:07:48.540 --> 0:07:52.100
<v Speaker 2>he can't trust these corporations out there. You never know

0:07:52.100 --> 0:07:54.530
<v Speaker 2>what they have going for us. And he's also a

0:07:54.530 --> 0:07:58.080
<v Speaker 2>man of the people even though he probably has no friends. Um,

0:07:58.090 --> 0:08:00.990
<v Speaker 2>I think Bernie and I are good. He likes isolation,

0:08:00.990 --> 0:08:03.340
<v Speaker 2>which is great. Um, even after this year I was

0:08:03.340 --> 0:08:04.260
<v Speaker 2>like isolation is the

0:08:04.270 --> 0:08:05.820
<v Speaker 1>boss. Um,

0:08:05.830 --> 0:08:06.540
<v Speaker 2>yeah,

0:08:06.540 --> 0:08:07.340
<v Speaker 1>I think there is a

0:08:07.340 --> 0:08:10.880
<v Speaker 2>lot uh, comparisons between he and I, because he found

0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:14.300
<v Speaker 2>himself incredibly annoyed by being followed by two teenagers and

0:08:14.300 --> 0:08:17.260
<v Speaker 2>I for one know, and in my personal life, teenagers

0:08:17.270 --> 0:08:19.330
<v Speaker 2>really get on my nerves. So you know, it was

0:08:19.340 --> 0:08:22.890
<v Speaker 2>easy to mesh that, uh, and bring that method acting

0:08:22.890 --> 0:08:26.950
<v Speaker 2>to Bernie. But actually it's you, I like his heart,

0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:29.630
<v Speaker 2>his heart was great because when you're on an adventure

0:08:29.630 --> 0:08:32.230
<v Speaker 2>like that with these two actors, like you know Julian

0:08:32.230 --> 0:08:34.160
<v Speaker 2>and Millie, you just have to play, you have to

0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:36.910
<v Speaker 2>go with it, you really do. And they really challenged

0:08:36.910 --> 0:08:39.440
<v Speaker 2>me to play as much as possible. It was absolutely

0:08:39.450 --> 0:08:41.550
<v Speaker 2>some of the best times I had on set just

0:08:41.550 --> 0:08:44.030
<v Speaker 2>running around playing on the set. We might have got

0:08:44.030 --> 0:08:46.459
<v Speaker 2>in trouble a couple of times because you know, we

0:08:46.460 --> 0:08:48.679
<v Speaker 2>had a little too much fun. But either way we

0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 2>wanted it to showcase in the movie and we feel

0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:52.370
<v Speaker 2>like he did, we feel like you really root for

0:08:52.370 --> 0:08:54.370
<v Speaker 2>them and you really care about their team. So it

0:08:54.370 --> 0:08:55.250
<v Speaker 2>was totally worth it.

0:08:55.340 --> 0:09:03.640
